Double Dare

Another game show I used to watch when I was a kid - a fun one where where two-member teams of children compete to answer questions and complete stunts, sometimes getting themselves dunked or splashed in slime and goo.

Lots of exciting stuff to see here, from answering educational questions to passing through obstacles to avoid being slimed - all in a race to beat the clock.

Host Marc Summers does a great job keeping the show energized, but displaying a professional yet cheerful demeanor with the kid contestants. Good show for the entire family.

Grade A-

This is one of the very few shows i've seen from the first episode, to the last episode (1993 Family Double Dare.). It's just that great! This form (The original.) is a great form, but can't hold a candle to the later versions of Double Dare. The physical challenges, though unique, felt like an old "Beat the Clock" episode. None were too messy, except for the egg stunts. The obstacle course on the other hand, was very messy and nothing will EVER hold a candle to it. That's why I think any form of Double Dare, is the best game show ever. And I haven't even talked about the greatness that is Harvey, Marc, Robin, and Dave! Marc Summers is easily the best host you can think of, and he knew when to act professional, and he knew when to act funny. Harvey was the perfect announcer, and it was fun seeing him act out a physical challenge or obstacle course (Sometimes with Marc!). Dave and Robin were also very funny! Anyone else remember the saga of "Hey!"?

If you are reading this, then that means that you have seen the show. And if you remember it like I did, you remember it as a fun show that just reminds you of being a kid. Always hoping the kids have no idea what the question is, so they will do a physical challenge. The best part would have to be the end, where they would go through the obstacle course and get the flags. (sniffle) Good times...

This show is OK but be warned.....it is not Sliders.

I wish this show was as good as Sliders I really do but the fact is, it is not. There is no sliding in this show from one dimension to another, there is no Professor, there is no Jerry O'Connell. This show has almost nothing to do with Sliders. It's really more of a game show for kids.

The physical challenges are good, but not say as demanding as having to for example slide from one dimension to another, solve that world's problems, and then slide out again to another world.

Does everyone remember the obstacle course at the end? In one ear, out the other? Down the hatch, Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, The big wheel, Gumball machine, The big nose.

Marc Summers - "We come over here to the Sunday Slide. Run up this platform filled with slippery gook as fast as you can. Once you get to the top slide down the other side. You'll land in this giant scoop of ice cream. But you don't have any time to waste. Stand up, grab that flag, and you could win this."

Harvey "It's a trip to Universal Studios Florida. You and a guest will fly a round trip to Universal Studios where you'll stay at the luxurious Hyott. Hyatt - We Know Service. All this could be yours. Back to you Marc."
